Having the CubeSat in orbit to measure the effect of the solar storm has been bittersweet, Li said. While it provided the opportunity to measure the effects of such a large event, the storm also increased atmospheric drag on the CubeSat, which caused its orbit to decrease prematurely. As a...
A massive solar storm could wipe out almost all of our modern technology without warningRafi Letzter
An aurora show like no other is playing out in the night sky this weekend, spawned by intense solar storms that are painting the sky spectacular hues of pinks, purples and greens.
Alas, AR3697 is the returned version of sunspot AR3664, responsible for the epicG5 geomagnetic stormwe saw a couple of weeks ago — the most powerful solar storm since 2003 that triggered enchantingaurorasaround the world. Related:That giant sunspot that supercharged auroras on Earth? It's bac...

Their study explores a stellar phenomenon known as a “coronal mass ejection” (CME), aka. a solar storm. These ejections, which occur with our Sun regularly, often accompany a stellar flare (or sudden and bright burst of radiation). When they happen, CMEs send clouds of extre...
After the storm-induced turbulence had abated and stratification had been re-established, sufficient seed populations had evidently persisted in the water column to recommence the blooms. Thus, the multiple flux events were likely driven by multiple successive monsoonal storms in any given year, ...
Auroras are a phenomena caused by the friction of charged particles and a planet’s magnetosphere. On Earth, the instigators are high-energy particles in solar wind, which collide with atoms of gas in the upper atmosphere near the magnetic poles. These atoms get excited, then lose their energy...
The attempt by software developer company RIM (Research In Motion) to launch an iPhone rival did not take the market by storm—in fact, the Blackberry Storm is remembered a major smartphone disaster. The failure was written about in a book entitled "Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind...
Earth is apparently due for some solar storm nonsense, meaning the U.S. will potentially lose billions of dollars.
